Or keep it because it's a good figure on its own and if you really feel the need to get the redeco at least it gives you the option of having a Superion made up of all unique molds.

I'm keeping mine, I am getting TT superion but alpha bravo is nice still. I thought i saw a pic of slingshot yesterday with orange visor (ala the g1 toy). Imo it would be better as jt seperates him more from alpha bravo. But still nice, liking brake-neck, and will be hunting him as i already have the rest of hasbro menasor organised.

Edit: ah yep now i see, full orange face is the TT slingshot, i'm a happy camper then.

Now IDW will have a fun time re-writing these characters back in to make them toy accurate!

Since the Facebook post only mentioned online retailers I'm going to take a wild(rider) guess at these being shared exclusives between BBTS and Amazon.
It may be a long (sling)shot but maybe, just maybe, Robotkingdom might have them as well seeing as they have sold other BBTS "exclusives" in the past (I'm looking at you Piranacon...)

Hasbro stock images of Generations Quickslinger & Brake-Neck

[griffin]

I'm surprised that they have comics with them as well, since they are likely to be a lot more limited than regular release items, and don't need them if they are exclusives.

I think Hasbro may have released these images after all the discussion about them appearing on the Diamond/Previews listing for May... as I would imagine that they would have preferred to wait until after Wave 2 was released and saturated the market, as there might be a lot of people now not buying Off-Road.

As for Alpha Bravo and Off-Road... I don't see why they aren't still collected or kept, as all of these Generations Deluxes are really great toys on their own, and none need to be combined just because they can combine. Treat it as a bonus, and enjoy the toy like any of the Legends that aren't part of a combiner team.
I certainly will.
